The Federal Dictatorial Republic of Archaeos is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Dictator Claudianus with an even hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, smutty television, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.697 billion Archaeosias enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Primus Aquila. The average income tax rate is 45.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Archaeosia economy, worth 208 trillion Imperial Golds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 123,135 Imperial Golds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Legislators work 24/7 due to an influx of single-issue bills, employers are finding it hard to screen candidates now that everyone gets A grades in their exams, the Super-Spud Cinematic Universe is breaking box office records, and museum visitors often bring lemons and black lights. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Archaeos's national animal is the Magna Aquilae, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Archaeos is ranked 26,722^nd in the world and 1^st in The Grande Imperium for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 266.78 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
